reflections on Wedge Pond

Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada
Canon EOS 50D, 10-22mm @10mm, 1/60 sec, f/7.1, ISO100

When I visited Wedge Pond, in Kananaskis, earlier this month, I was hoping for some wind, so I could so I could do some kite aerial photography. There was very little wind, and people were making the most of the lovely summer weather, fishing and swimming in the lakes. The lack of wind allowed me to capture this reflection in the water, with a fly fisherman slowly moving across the lake in his kayak.

As an Aussie, I had no intention to go swimming, as the ambient temperature was only about 25 degrees, and the water was cold (~35 degrees is more like swimming weather for me). The locals thought otherwise - probably because the summer in Alberta is very short, so the make the most of the summer weather while it lasts!
